Hahn RaceCraft takes great pride in mandrel bending all their pipe upgrades in-house, and this new system is no exception. Our continuous one-piece mandrel bending provides a smoother, better flowing, and more attractive result than welding together multiple 'chunks' of tube sections. Compatible with both stock and Hahn RaceCraft intercoolers, this system replaces your unatttractive stock plastic piping with a better-flowing alternative that won't spring leaks, looks great, and will support any power level you wish. Plays well with Hahn/BSR PPC Tuner.
As an additional bonus, this system will support our soon-to-come Blow-Off Valve Upgrade. It features our own Silicone Couplers and 'no cut' hose clamps. If you like, you can also upgrade to T-bolt style clamps for an additional charge. Powder coated either in our standard gloss black or your choice of colors*.
Available options:
T-bolt clamps
Custom colors*
*Add one week to standard lead time for custom colors. Please email us a photo showing the color you wish to match. Exact matches cannot be guaranteed, but we have yet to experience customer dissatisfaction with the results!
drew1991sf 10-21-2008, 11:09 PM off topic but sorry. would u guys give me a deal on my exhaust if i buy full exhaust?? its like 1600.
r u guys doing any type of deals on them?
hilty003 10-21-2008, 11:13 PM id possible be interested in a red set. doesnt look like that could cost too insanely much....maybe a few weeks. im sitting on about $300 right now that i could blow. is that an O2 sensor mount on there?

No, 02's are in the exhaust system...what you see there mounts your MAP2 sensor and a signal hose for the BOV.
We have our first bid...$300. I'll confess...a bit on the low side, but let's see what other folks have to say!
hilty003 10-21-2008, 11:34 PM ahh ic. well im kinda interested so i wanna see what other ppl come up with. will this help at all with hp/tq/sound haha without the bigger intercooler?
stg2ss 10-21-2008, 11:40 PM I would pay pay about $350-400 and would love for it to come in black or red?
impulseballer 10-21-2008, 11:41 PM no TC here but i would expect t band clamps (or wutever they are called) from you guys.
EcoBoost 10-22-2008, 12:00 AM no TC here but i would expect t band clamps (or wutever they are called) from you guys.
Available as an option, for sure! Thanks for reminding, I added them.
However...Our 'no-cut' standard clamps are proven effective in these applications, and considerably different from the garden-variety cheap worm-drive hose clamps you may be used to. Made in Germany, these are a major step up, with a series of design enhancements you won't find elsewere. We've sold over 100,000 of them over the years!
lecznar1 10-22-2008, 12:14 AM i'd buy a dark blue set to match the imperial blue of the car and 300 would be great for a price and another color u might also want to put on em is black and chrome i bet lots of people would like that as well
SSdan 10-22-2008, 12:33 AM No turbo for me but $300 is too low. I say $375 as a starting point.
I would be in for 300 but whats the chance of that happening.
Black08SSTC 10-22-2008, 12:46 AM i would be good for $375.00 for gloss black piping and tbolt clamps.
Omega_5 10-22-2008, 12:49 AM no TC here but i would expect t band clamps (or wutever they are called) from you guys.
+1 on the t-bolt clamps.
I've seen too many worm clams fail to ever use them again.
coryss08 10-22-2008, 12:52 AM I agree 375 gloss black. A group buy on the tuner would be ideal.:)
Black08SSTC 10-22-2008, 12:55 AM shipping included for the $375 though
Cobalt SS 2009 TC 10-22-2008, 01:58 AM I greee ^x2 $375 would be good
HunterKiller89 10-22-2008, 04:26 AM is this piping larger than stock? or just smoother flowing? if its stock sized, do you have any plans for larger than stock piping? Course i dont have a SSTC anyway, but i always like to know what options are available for all the models
IsItFast? 10-22-2008, 06:28 AM How about $675 for charge piping and intercooler combo? (could you do polished for the charge piping?)
steddy2112 10-22-2008, 08:20 AM How about this.
I posted in the other thread and I will put it simple:
Cheaper than Synapse.
Not saying they are high...but Bill you do a GP cheaper than what they have, you can bank on a lot of people's money.

Well if the base price is cheaper before add ons I think you make a lot of money. Good job on new products
TrevMo 10-22-2008, 11:54 AM $300 picked up at your place in Yorkville...
Basically, I'm not planning to do a lot of modding, but realize that the charge piping is a weak point of the design...I just want to get rid of the ugly plastic and get something more reliable...

Why would you want larger than stock? Increasing the diameter of the charge piping without a need to (an effin big turbo), will only result in a slower response time.
ssballin 10-22-2008, 12:05 PM real interested in getting rid of the stock piping too...what kind of performance gain will you get from this kit.
JPizzle 10-22-2008, 12:05 PM What are the gains you guys gain from this?
Omega_5 10-22-2008, 12:07 PM What are the gains you guys gain from this?
.... that's both threads... :lol:
Again... no real peak gain... simply a supporting mod...
It simply reduces spool time and response by putting less 'give' in the system. Think of conventional brake lines vs SS braided lines. Less expansion in the line, therefore quicker response.
hilty003 10-22-2008, 12:19 PM is this 2.5" piping? i mightve missed it somewhere anyway....im thinking maybe 375 to 400 would be ok if we can manage to have this to include the t-clamps and shipping, i mean it is supposed to be gb pricing. i dont mind waiting longer to have it powdercoated red. possibly interested in the intercooler combo mentioned above too.

Alright...maybe $300 is a bit low...but you definitely need to beat Synapse's GB price of $400...even that price scared away a lot of buyers....they barely got to 10 people...
You put this thing at $325 or $350 plus shipping and people will be all over it...

Lol! Yea, I wasn't expecting 30whp, & 50trq. Haha. But thanks for clearing that up for me!

yea i agree i saw their product retails for $500 and i thought their gb was $400 but i wasnt sure.
red2001ss 10-22-2008, 02:07 PM Black in color would be hotness. I have no opinion on price at this time.
To keep the trend going with my car (only true mod is Hahn 3" Cat Back, and he won me over with that product.. I LOVE IT!) I would be willing to go for $400 or under for a set matching Victory Red and t-bolt clamps. Or would take a good look at a combo pack with the intercooler if you did one.
1WhiteSSTC 10-22-2008, 05:10 PM Just to confirm, this charge piping without a tune won't hurt anything right? I'm just a little concerned as with others adding custom intakes and have CEL codes drop in a week later.
Omega_5 10-22-2008, 05:14 PM Just to confirm, this charge piping without a tune won't hurt anything right? I'm just a little concerned as with others adding custom intakes and have CEL codes drop in a week later.
Pipe diameter and shape shouldn't affect the MAP2 sensor... so no, you shouldn't need a tune.
TrevMo 10-22-2008, 05:15 PM Just to confirm, this charge piping without a tune won't hurt anything right? I'm just a little concerned as with others adding custom intakes and have CEL codes drop in a week later.
It is my understanding that if you got this charge piping, you would just be replacing ugly, weak plastic with nice, strong metal tubing...that is what I'm hoping anyway...
40rty 10-22-2008, 05:34 PM Here is a question, what is the size of this compared to Synapse's intercooler kit? They have pic's up and that thing is just huge. THanks
JPizzle 10-22-2008, 05:45 PM BTW, when will you be offering your BOV upgrade???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
HunterKiller89 10-22-2008, 06:01 PM Why would you want larger than stock? Increasing the diameter of the charge piping without a need to (an effin big turbo), will only result in a slower response time.
for a stock car, you wouldnt, but lets face it....there are 350whp blown cobalts...that means with due time there will be 500whp turboed balts, and i just want to know if the people going for turbo swaps have the available option of larger piping.
Turbo'dSS 10-22-2008, 08:44 PM i think $300-$375 including shipping is an awsome price! and id LOVE Gloss Black. thatd be hott!
EcoBoost 10-22-2008, 09:55 PM real interested in getting rid of the stock piping too...what kind of performance gain will you get from this kit.Frankly, at stock power levels, the gain is small...several HP.
The stock piping, while rather ugly, is actually well up to the task of supporting the stock power level. Power gains realized from a piping upgrade like this will increase as you continue to upgrade the car, since the more airflow you try to put through it, the more restrictive the stock piping becomes.
is this 2.5" piping? i mightve missed it somewhere anyway....im thinking maybe 375 to 400 would be ok if we can manage to have this to include the t-clamps and shipping, i mean it is supposed to be gb pricing. i dont mind waiting longer to have it powdercoated red. possibly interested in the intercooler combo mentioned above too.
Yes, 2.5". Ideal for 300-600 HP. Optimally sized, not oversized.
Just to confirm, this charge piping without a tune won't hurt anything right? I'm just a little concerned as with others adding custom intakes and have CEL codes drop in a week later. No sir. This won't affect airflow reporting at all, unlike intakes that house the MAF and can affect its airflow characteristics. The altered airflow signature is what throws the codes.
Here is a question, what is the size of this compared to Synapse's intercooler kit? They have pic's up and that thing is just huge. THanksI'd like to address intercooler questions in our other threads, just for clarity :), and keep this one on the Piping Kit. Thanks :cssNET:

EcoBoost 10-22-2008, 09:59 PM BTW, when will you be offering your BOV upgrade???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
Later this year. It will incorporate our Billet BOV like we use on the Solstice and Sky kits. It will be compatible with this piping kit.
for a stock car, you wouldnt, but lets face it....there are 350whp blown cobalts...that means with due time there will be 500whp turboed balts, and i just want to know if the people going for turbo swaps have the available option of larger piping.
For comparison, this piping kit can support up to 600 HP easily.
SUKXOST 10-22-2008, 10:05 PM shipping included for the $375 though
sounds perfect $375 shipping...would be nice w/ tbolt clamps!
SRodSS007 10-22-2008, 10:18 PM hey im a lil late on this one. what is this charge piping kit? does it add HP? um hear more turbo sound? im a total noob sorry guys but im interested in this. and a possible intake
SSBlackWidowSS 10-22-2008, 11:03 PM 350-375 sounds good needs to be red chrome. Red chrome looks so sick
hilty003 10-22-2008, 11:07 PM 350-375 sounds good needs to be red chrome. Red chrome looks so sick
haha that would be sick.
04redline0124 10-22-2008, 11:11 PM soo wut if i bought ur pipes when i getr my tc. How difficult will it be to put a tial on???
and yea 350 -375 shipped sounds great
SRodSS007 10-22-2008, 11:12 PM i love what bill did with the I/C ion sport tint red. id live that on the charge piping!!! we gotta get some prices for the combo and group buys!!
hilty003 10-22-2008, 11:31 PM so maybe 375 shipped with t-clamps with 15 ppl? i guess we'd need to know what can be done with colors....maybe 3 to 5 weeks? im personally thinkin about the combo now.
maybe 650 to 675 for a combo of the above with the i/c with the hahn logo on it. same # of ppl and time frame?
SUKXOST 10-22-2008, 11:53 PM I like the $650 for it all too...but NO logo. I don't want to advertise what I have to EVERYONE... just people that need or deserve to know. I have no problem telling people what I have and pushing a product for a company if I'm happy with it but to visually display on the exterior on my car and tell everyone to include the po-po that I'm pushin aftermarket HP mods...I don't like it.
SRodSS007 10-22-2008, 11:57 PM i agree!!! we should make a pole. and majority wins. im in aggreeance 375 shipped. and 675 shipped for the combo with 15 or more peopl. this is an awesome deal that many people will jump on.
375 for the charge piping
or 675 for the combo.
its affordable. and will probably get more business for it in my opinion. yer more likely to make more money on somethin that costs less than more. if that makes sense..
I would have to say if we get a killer deal you don't have a choice to not get the logo on there. We would have to make up the price some how and if that through advertising then so be it. I don't advertise for no one unless I am getting a KILLER deal and make it worth my wile.
hilty003 10-23-2008, 12:26 AM i dont think its gonna matter all that much. i think he'll be willing to do whatever each person wants.
EcoBoost 10-23-2008, 01:34 AM i dont think its gonna matter all that much. i think he'll be willing to do whatever each person wants.
Quite true. Logos are optional...I'd never expect everyone to run them ;)
marcusicp 10-23-2008, 02:19 AM Just like I said with the intercooler, at $350 i am in. I would want black pipes though!
Also, how did you attach the pipe to the mount that is next to the mechanical fuel pump? On the OEM pipe, mine (and others) keeps popping off there.
hungryhip-ccp 10-23-2008, 03:05 AM when i got my hahn kit i was very very suprised by the quality of the charge piping, i thought it would be simple aluminized exhaust piping that had been powder coated... no, this stuff is very nice quality piping that is quite thick and durable with smooth flowing bends and the powder coat is very durable i have had the pipes on and off at least 5-6 times and not one has a even a scratch in it... no matter what it is hahn never fails to produce very high quality pieces at an affordable price.
if you looking for high flow quality charge piping look no further...
5thGearPinned 10-23-2008, 10:12 AM $675 for a intercooler combo would be great... anywhere in the $300 range would be nice for the charg pipe alone... Polished please?

Power gains realized from a piping upgrade like this will increase as you continue to upgrade the car, since the more airflow you try to put through it, the more restrictive the stock piping becomes.
So if we are not looking to do a lot of modding and generating more HP, there really isn't much of a reason to upgrade the charge piping besides aesthetics?
I was thinking that this plastic might be a weak part of the design and it might not be as reliable as the charge piping kits available. Although the kits look very nice, I'm not sure I'd want to spend hundreds of dollars just for looks...
glhs379 10-23-2008, 01:03 PM At stock hp levels the piping will be only for looks and durability
I think snyapse got about 5 wheel in the very top end of the rev range with there dyno results with piping only with a tuned car.
I may upgrade if I ever swap turbos down the road however.
I like the fact that when I open the hood now, it looks bone ass stock!
IsItFast? 10-23-2008, 01:28 PM I would vote for a combo of the piping + intercooler for
1-10 $675
11-15 $650
16-20 $625
20+ $600
Intercooler alone:
1-10 -$425
11-15-$410
16-20-$400
20+ -$375
Piping:
1-10 -$315
11-15-$300
16-20-$275
20+ -$260
..and the piping in a red that matches the Victory red or possibly chrome? (of course chrome would need to be extra). Perhaps polished then clear over that?
MARIN007 10-23-2008, 03:43 PM It's a bit awkward debating on prices Bill. Members want to get something for a low price, but the product is probably worth a considerable amount more than most of the current suggestions. We trust your judgment Bill and we know you're not going to screw us, so name your price man!
EcoBoost 10-23-2008, 04:21 PM I will do just that. Thanks for the input, everyone...and should there be any more suggestions, don't hesitate to post up!

Also, how did you attach the pipe to the mount that is next to the mechanical fuel pump? On the OEM pipe, mine (and others) keeps popping off there.
We don't. Rigid mounting the pipes after we've used them to eliminate the flexible hoses at each end is not recommended. Engine/transmission movement versus the intercooler's stationary position on the chassis will lead to unwanted stresses and vibration if we tie down the pipe too tightly. Mostly, it's hard on the intercooler, but it's also hard on the pipes and couplers.

It's true...at stock power levels, the stock piping does well in terms of power. The more you turn the car up, the more swapping out the charge pipes will help.
Other reasons to consider using this on a stock vehicle:
Aesthetics (if one is into underhood looks)
Durability (the plastic piping has proven a bit limp in some cases)
Blow-Off Valve system inclusion later (to improve upshift performance and reduce turbo strain)

Yes, most OEM systems use a recirculating style. Frankly, it is the most efficient method, as it keeps the turbo more spooled than an open discharge. With our design, it's pretty noisy too! :twothumbs

Could your BOV be vented to atmosphere with proper tuning?

I can't speak for the Cobalt people, but there have been lots of issues with the HHR SS stock piping.
EcoBoost 10-23-2008, 04:41 PM Could your BOV be vented to atmosphere with proper tuning?
I can't speak for the Cobalt people, but there have been lots of issues with the HHR SS stock piping.
We do have an open version. Employing one is usually much more complex than a tuning change alone...it may also require significant hardware changes to re-locate the MAF, and then basically turns into a complete re-tune from top to bottom of the airflow range.
You are correct...I am actually surprised that we've not seen more Cobalts with the plastic piping problems that have appeared on HHR.
04redline0124 10-23-2008, 04:44 PM I might go with a greaddy type s for the time being then.....but i want to hear ur billet one hah

I can't speak for the Cobalt people, but there have been lots of issues with the HHR SS stock piping.
OMG is that BOV sport tint red!?!?! it looks sexi!!!
AaronHHRSS 10-23-2008, 04:58 PM There are dyno tests for the HHR SS intercooler on the Hahn website.

Yep. I would like to know if the Cobalt somehow makes more power out of the IC, than the HHR would.
EcoBoost 10-23-2008, 05:05 PM I might go with a greaddy type s for the time being then.....but i want to hear ur billet one hah
Get them while you can...Greddy's filed bankruptcy in the USA and Japan :bye:
I'll get a sound clip up for this soon!
Yep. I would like to know if the Cobalt somehow makes more power out of the IC, than the HHR would.
They should be too close to call...the engines and supporting equipment are 99.99999% identical. Making the HHR SS one of the coolest grocery-getters ever!
SRodSS007 10-23-2008, 05:20 PM well somethin haad to put the GT cruiser in its place lol usin the 2.4 Turbo from chrysler. i had a suggestion on the other thred for the I/C GB but same goes for the C/P after 10 people it could go down lil by lil every 5 more people.
EcoBoost 10-25-2008, 02:28 PM UPDATE! Pricing and terms are now in the first post. Thanks again to everyone for the input! Feel free to add more commentary...this GB needs your support to fly :cssNET:

srcobaltss 10-25-2008, 03:26 PM i'm a little off topic but oh well..will the new intercooler yous are making affect the turbos performance at stock boost?..i heard if you have a stock turbo and you put a big ass intercooler on the car it steals boost from the turbo..my buddy had an srt4 with a wastegate, huge ass intercooler and some other little things..he was pushing around 12-15lbs with the wastegate but as soon as he put it back to stock and left the intercooler on his boost went down to around 8-9lbs

marcusicp 10-25-2008, 04:09 PM Also, how did you attach the pipe to the mount that is next to the mechanical fuel pump? On the OEM pipe, mine (and others) keeps popping off there.
Hahn, will you please reply to this? Also, how much would it cost to get black and not silver?
SUKXOST 10-25-2008, 04:18 PM black seems to be the most popular color being requested...allow me to make agree.

SUKXOST 10-26-2008, 06:23 PM SO....this is kinda silly goin back an forth between the IC and piping threads for the GB. I'm not even sure what I'm agreeing to in THIS thread although I do want both. I feel like I gotta check em BOTH all the time now. Maybe we should create another thread for those of us that want both with the combined prices and lowered price for how many people we get. Did I miss something??? Threads keep changing and ya gotta click other links in other threads.....etc UGH!
SRodSS007 10-26-2008, 07:54 PM agreed if there is a third thread for the buy for combo buys ill make one now
K guys i made a thread for the combo buy!!!

usmpsoldier4life 10-27-2008, 11:55 PM How much would it run me if I wanted 2 of each the pipes set and the intercoolers as well. Do you offer it in yellow as well. My dad and I purchased 2 PPC tuners from HR the other day and for lack of better terms they are fucking awesome. And I would like to do more business with HR. Keep me posted as to when you guys get that BOV up and running.
steddy2112 10-28-2008, 03:57 PM Bump
jwhitten 10-29-2008, 01:03 PM How does this work is there a deposit to pay or just have the money by the end of the G.B.?? I want both but need to be sure I don't have to fork up $1200 right now.
SRodSS007 10-29-2008, 05:42 PM no nno good sir.. u would only put in adeposit at the end of the month for the buy. then u would have to pay the rest when yer parts shipped. no biggie.. very simple
jwhitten 10-29-2008, 05:51 PM Well in that case put my name down for both.
40rty 10-29-2008, 06:03 PM I have a question.
With this piping will you be able to put a Front sway bar after this is installed? I have been wanting to put one in for the longest time( autocross) but even with stock piping I can't. Anyone?
SRodSS007 10-29-2008, 06:08 PM hmmm ask bill this question. im sure it will be able to fit in.. soo we have a total of eleven now... please go to my combo threAad and addd yer name so i can submit it to bill please
IsItFast? 10-30-2008, 02:25 AM I have a question.

This wont interfere with a sway bar, as that is under the car. I think you mean strut tower brace, and seeing as how no one has made one for this car yet anyway, its a moot point.
Short answer is there is no way to tell until someone comes out with one, but the ones for the 07 and earlier will not work with even the stock piping in place.
SUKXOST 10-30-2008, 02:27 PM Still need those other 2 names added to the combo thread. I just hope I have all the right tools etc to put all this shit on. Anyone know of or seen a thread discussing the installation of the IC and Charge piping? I've never torn apart the front grill or taken it off and not sure if any "special" tools may be required for the install......etc. I wish someone getting the combo lived around here and we could both help one another. :( My first turbo and don't want to F up my brand new 09 white. NA MEAN!
jwhitten 10-30-2008, 03:05 PM Where is copperas cove, TX?? is that far from houston?

Jesus, ok. Sorry, i thought the front sway bar was what you had in the engine compartment in the back. I know TTR has the rear sway bar for this car, who makes the front one? I autocross a lot. Sorry to get off subject.
SUKXOST 10-30-2008, 07:38 PM Where is copperas cove, TX?? is that far from houston?
I'm RIGHT next to Ft Hood. Map quest says 202 miles. It's basically NW of where you are in Houston.
jwhitten 10-30-2008, 07:47 PM Well I guess sorry then I can't drive 200mi for a mod day lol, but at least I thought about it.
SUKXOST 10-30-2008, 07:52 PM Well I guess sorry then I can't drive 200mi for a mod day lol, but at least I thought about it.
fortunately for YOU.....I'd probably be willing to go down THERE..... IF (and don't take this the wrong way) but if you had EVERYTHING we would need for sure to get it done and done right....it's worth a drive for me. Getting to know someone in the Cobalt community never hurts. You having mods and intel already on these TC's will help me learn them. If read a lot of your posts and feel confident that you know what you're doing but would we get it done somewhere or can we do it all ourselves? You're getting the combo now right?
jwhitten 10-30-2008, 07:56 PM I do all my work myself, and yes I'm getting the combo. I just need to srtaighten my my box a little but all my life I grew up around mechanics so I have plenty of tools. I just want to be sure that the intercooler requires no cutting like the synapse and if it doesn't then it should be easy as pie.
SUKXOST 10-30-2008, 07:59 PM seems as though a lot of the posts say that the IC installl does NOT need any modifications to the chasis, front bumper...etc.....due to the curved back design of the sides. But really how many people have put them on so far? Not a lot I think.
jwhitten 10-30-2008, 08:03 PM I read that to but you will not know for sure until the product is actually released and people start installing it. If hahn says no cutting I believe him but theres allways that chance, the piping should be pretty much plug and play, im not worried about it. I'm just worried about the I/C.
SUKXOST 10-30-2008, 08:04 PM sending a PM to you
JUICETURBOSS 10-30-2008, 08:19 PM You can put me down for both!
SUKXOST 10-30-2008, 08:27 PM 10!!!! :) still need a bunch more yo
SRodSS007 10-30-2008, 08:36 PM thats like 11 or 12 buddy lol
SUKXOST 10-30-2008, 08:49 PM back and forth between threads.....tryin to keep up LOL We went from just a handful to what 12 now? Lookin good for at least 15 or 20. Need em quick.....hope Bill is ready? :P Man I can't wait!
SRodSS007 10-30-2008, 08:51 PM i posted my thread link.. help me out man spread the worrrrd!!! and my link!!! there is a combo buy thread people!!!

supermantxz24 11-01-2008, 02:39 PM so how many are in the group buy so far???
JUICETURBOSS 11-01-2008, 04:16 PM so how many are in the group buy so far???
I think like 13
supermantxz24 11-01-2008, 04:28 PM ill do it if we get 19 people
Cobalt SS 2009 TC 11-01-2008, 05:50 PM i am in if we can get the price of twenty people
Grich171 11-02-2008, 02:19 AM im also in if it gets to 20
SUKXOST 11-02-2008, 12:08 PM Oh come ON! If the other 13 said we were in IF we got 20 no one would be on the list! Either put your names up or go away :P jk but really...some people are determining thier purchases off of how many people are in each thread and depending on COMMITTED #'s.......they might make a different purchase for thier budget if you don't throw your name in the hat. It's not fair to those weighing thier options and keeping track of how many people in each updated thread list count.
JUICETURBOSS 11-02-2008, 12:15 PM That is true your either in or out!
SRodSS007 11-02-2008, 12:42 PM if everyone says there commited tot he buy were gonna reach our goal. and the buy can be extended a lil to get enough people. i dont know what the number is up to yet though.
IsItFast? 11-02-2008, 07:21 PM Here is an updated list! If everyone below says they are in, we now have 18!! we only need TWO more to get the 20, and get everyone confirmed!
Please cut and paste this list and add your name to it from here on out so we can track how many people are on this buy! Those that are in for the 20+ price, please add your name to the confirmed list! There is still almost a full month before this buy ends, we WILL have 20 people.....

red2001ss 11-09-2008, 03:47 PM You'd have to bring that up with them then.
EcoBoost 11-10-2008, 04:29 PM Hi everyone!
Thanks for supporting this Group Buy so...well, so quickly! :cssNET:
Thanks also for compiling the list. I have transferred it into the first post, and I will keep it updated from here on out.
The next step will be processing your orders. I will post instructions tomorrow, Tuesday the 11th, as to how you can submit your actual order information and details such as piping color and clamp style.
I'll also scan the thread for unanswered questions at that time.
EcoBoost 11-12-2008, 12:21 PM UPDATE:
The first post now contains ordering information. I'll presume everyone on the list so far will be ordering, but if you decide not to, just let me know...you have until the 28th to commit. Let me know if any questions!
ericgt79 11-12-2008, 12:31 PM so if i order mine with a IC also how much would you guys charge me to install it...im home on leave now and i dont have a bay to work out of.
plus i need a tune anyway
im down to make this group buy work lets make sure we get 20+ people on this 349 is a awesome price!
steddy2112 11-12-2008, 04:22 PM OOOOOH OOOOOH OOOOH
Question on install.
I was laying underneath my car, and was wondering(and it really looked like you could) is it possible to install the charge piping with out removing the front bumper cover?
08SStc 11-12-2008, 07:22 PM hey bill, i sent you an email with my down payment info. thanx for all your great products, love the catback so far. cant wait till i have all your upcoming parts to have my own Hahn edition Cobalt SS/TC.
SUKXOST 11-12-2008, 07:41 PM SEE ABOVE----I also sent Bill an email with my order info. COMBO BABY!!!! I'll be ordering the catback tomorrow as well. I'm in a white TC so it worked out perfect that they make it in black without having to pay for more. YAY for me! I went with the T-clamps as well. Shoot...reminds me...I better email him again and let him know to NOT put the HAHN on the IC. (Don't wanna send open invites to the cops to watch for me...not yet LOL)
steddy2112 11-12-2008, 07:44 PM So we have to pay in full by november 28th?
El_diablos_SS/TC 11-13-2008, 12:49 AM I don't know if anyone else asked but if you get more than 20 like 25 or 30 will the price go down even more?
IsItFast? 11-13-2008, 02:00 PM Sent in my order! Cant wait :)
EcoBoost 11-13-2008, 04:09 PM so if i order mine with a IC also how much would you guys charge me to install it...im home on leave now and i dont have a bay to work out of.

im down to make this group buy work lets make sure we get 20+ people on this 349 is a awesome price!
Installation and tune cost: $499.
Shall we add you to the list? EDIT: My bad. I see you are already on there. Thanks!
OOOOOH OOOOOH OOOOH
Question on install.
I was laying underneath my car, and was wondering(and it really looked like you could) is it possible to install the charge piping with out removing the front bumper cover?
Yes. All you need to do is partially remove the right inner fender liner to gain sufficient access.
So we have to pay in full by november 28th?
Yes please! If something comes up, let me know...I'll be flexible to a degree to keep the Group afloat. We know it's the holidays, and things are tough, so we aim to please :)
I don't know if anyone else asked but if you get more than 20 like 25 or 30 will the price go down even more?
I don't see that happening, as it's already rock-bottom pricing. We will cap the quantity if it gets too crazy in the next couple of weeks!
08SStc 11-20-2008, 04:22 PM Can we see some pics of the Pipes installed on your car while we wait for ours to ship?

No problem! We will begin to ship systems next week if the GB closes successfully, so keep in touch. Thanks!

EcoBoost 11-27-2008, 01:02 AM Everyone!
If you've not yet sent in your order form, the time draws near. This GB closes on Friday!
IsItFast? 11-27-2008, 11:51 AM How many have sent them in? Do we have the 20 we need? If not, can you post the ones who have not put down the deposit so we can shame them into doing it? :)
revhigh18 11-27-2008, 07:55 PM put me up there
EcoBoost 11-28-2008, 01:33 PM How many have sent them in? Do we have the 20 we need? If not, can you post the ones who have not put down the deposit so we can shame them into doing it? :)
Haha, they know who they are...we didn't make the deposit requirement on this one as we did on the intercooler.
We will contact any stragglers tomorrow when we go over our orders for both this and IC. I'll post up our findings so 'peer pressure' can be applied :)
put me up there
Thanks, revhigh!
Grich171 11-28-2008, 10:15 PM im in for this just gotta wait for credit card!....and about the colors you want an example like a pic?

steddy2112 11-28-2008, 10:40 PM Guess who is broke because the compressor on his F-150 seized?
If you guessed me you are absolutely fucking correct.

I don't have the cash.
SUKXOST 11-28-2008, 10:57 PM broke is a state of mind.......figure it out! HA HA HA jk

Sorry to hear. We'll remove you from the list.

i just ordered mine! i sent a pic of my car too for the piping color i want i cant wait dude im so excited.....if you guys want to put a hahn logo on the pipe at the top so when i open my CF hood it shows that would be cool.
IsItFast? 12-02-2008, 03:15 AM i just ordered mine! i sent a pic of my car too for the piping color i want i cant wait dude im so excited.....if you guys want to put a hahn logo on the pipe at the top so when i open my CF hood it shows that would be cool.
That would be great.. Im getting Hahn on the intercooler, but on the piping would be awesome as well. (Victory Red pipes with the hahn logo :) )
ericgt79 12-02-2008, 10:43 AM victory red FTW :)
EcoBoost 12-02-2008, 05:15 PM New players!
Feel free to jump in, as a few folks have dropped out. We're extending the GB to get the 20 we need for the best pricing. Great chance to get in on a great deal!
KINGKOLE 12-03-2008, 09:24 AM this charge piping void warrenty?
How much I'd this item? How much to ship to Canada (east coast)?
EcoBoost 12-03-2008, 11:51 AM this charge piping void warrenty?
How much I'd this item? How much to ship to Canada (east coast)?
We've never seen an item like charge piping be a warranty issue. Frankly, as the plastic piping can be a bit troublesome (we've heard reports of leakage, especially on HHR SS), this is actually helping GM out, for they won't ever have to worry about paying for new plastic pipes on your car!
The info on pricing can be found in the first post of this thread. Shipping to Canada East I'd estimate at $50.
Thanks!:cssNET:
ericgt79 12-03-2008, 03:51 PM -tapping foot- growing inpatient, i want my piping already geezus!
cant we just combine the piping and ic people together and get on with it

Well...they are already :) Everyone who's purchased both is on both lists.
I hear you...the tentative players can slow things down at this point, but I have a solution at hand. We should be finally done, and with 20 players so you guys get the best price, by Friday!
steddy2112 12-03-2008, 06:16 PM :cussing:

Agreed with Bill.
Every tech that seen or did warranty work on my car usually says: thank god you got rid of that plastic piping.

Patience is a virtue :). Id rather wait for a bit longer and save more than $200...
ericgt79 12-04-2008, 12:21 PM i know, i just want my piping on so i can open my hood and have the angels sing like (ahhhhhh) like they do when the pearly gates open :) usually when my mind is set on wanting something i just go and get it cus i want it now thats why i hate waiting for parts in the mail like im waiting for my CF Hood from freight shipping on a friggin truck to show up at my door at anyday now...but mostly with the piping im waiting because i have to leave to texas by the 26th of which i was suppose to already be gone by the 1st but since im waiting for car parts i pushed my days back but my no shit day is the 26th
